37 2.14- Survive, Weapons, Combat, Kill and Live for Another Day! Part 2 (1/2)

The sickle that was flying and twirling in midair and suspended with a chain was suddenly flicked back by its owner; ending the sickle to be at striking distance inches away from my face, momentarily stopped in midair before it returned back deftly in the hands of the assassin. The chain was about 8 feet or more in length and I had no way to be close to him or her at all!!!

”Swoosh...! Klang...!!” the sickle flew again while the assassin moved to encircle me to make me expose a blind spot to be hit and be hurt by that sickle. Even though it was a crude weapon but it serves its purpose well being thrown back and retracted before ending in a striking pose well inches from my body as I made futile attempts to block with my bamboo pole.

If one looked at it, the one wielding the bamboo pole would not even be able to touch the assassin compared to a ranged type weapon that the latter wielded. Truly it was against the odds!!

After a few pathetic attempts of trying to inflict injury to me by the flying and retracting sickle, I found a loophole but its worth a try and a chance in a million. Since the chain was about 6 or 8 feet in length, the duration for it to be thrown and pulled back to the beholder would take some seconds.

Within these few seconds, the beholder would not be able to do anything as the sickle was not in his possession as well as control. I evaded yet another flight of the sickle towards me but this time I moved a few paces beside and advanced a few steps ahead as the sickle was in flight and had not reached its maximum length of the chain.

I whacked the chain somewhat in the middle with my bamboo pole and thus making the sickle that was in flight to be retracted suddenly, and the ends of the chain that were held by the assassin was loose. This means that he had lost control momentarily of the weapon he was happily wielding earlier. His smile disappeared beneath his mask and a look of bewilderment took over his eyes instead.

The weapon that was supposed to be his advantage soon became the death of his next!

When the chain was being slammed down, the sickle in flight made a sudden comeback towards the beholder and he suddenly subconsciously moved a few steps to his left side ending an almost striking distance between him and me.

I heard through the loudspeaker mentioning about Kagome's name and I knew that she was alive and well and doing something that raised the attention of the voice from the loudspeaker.

”I got to find her after this!” my race thoughts as I was having a face-off with this opponent.

The assassin avoided the reflected sickle and it landed most hitting him instead and fell to the ground on his right. He made a rookie mistake by looking at the sickle instead of his opponent! A ROOKIE MISTAKE BY TAKING HIS EYES OFF ME!!!

THIS IS MY CHANCE!!!

I let out a wild yell as I shifted the bamboo pole on my right to my left hand and thrust at the centre mass of the assassin's body. It made a squishy penetrating sound like the sharp edge of the bamboo pole penetrated into his lower sternum. This could mean one thing!!
